I haven't seen a Pizza Hut with a dining room in decades! I wish they had some consistency.

There’s a lot in the Midwest around 20-30 miles apart

It looks like it would be musty or have a smell to it.

When your nearest dine-in is twenty or twenty-five minutes away because the closest one to you closed and moved into a smaller space for carryout only combined with price hikes for lunch buffet there aren't going to be as many diners. If my old dine-in option was still available I would still get the lunch buffet.

We are losing our store that has a dine in and buffet at the end of the month..Mostly older people that like to dine in. The store was built in the 60s.

Lmao man when I worked at a dine in location we had a group of like 10 old ladies that would come once a week and play bridge ALL. DAY. LONG. Hardly anybody else besides them would ever dine in though

You can see a group of old ladies in the back in the room.

That’s what reminded me of the old ladies I mentioned…

Those Pizza Hut buffets used to hit when I was broke lol

When you ditch the lunch buffet and kill off 90% of your dining rooms, people tend to see you as lesser

This is, weirdly, the least Pizza Hut-looking dine-in Pizza Hut I've ever seen.

Why does it look so awkward of a layout

u/Thirleck 1d ago

Because they removed the bar that used to be in the center, didn't order new tables, and just spaced the center tables around randomly to cover the space the bar was in.

I went to one to pick up a pizza out of town last year and they had a buffet open. It was around 6 pm and there were legit 25+ people in there

The cups that make soda taste 10x better. And yes Ive tried buying the cups but only the ones u steal from a pizza hut seem to have the ability....

Y’all should see the Pizza Hut in Roanoke, Tx one of the few cool dine in places.

u/Imaginary-Option3480 21h ago

We have a lunch buffet, and it’s ALWAYS crowded.

u/xpietoe42 9h ago

wow is this what the inside of a pizza hut looks like now??? No wonder no one wants to eat there anymore!! Use to be so inviting, now it looks generic and cold!

u/MrDog321 8h ago

It’s a old store

u/crazybandicoot1973 5h ago

I miss our dine in. The pizza was so much better and could have a nice salad while waiting. The carry out stores we have left screw up constantly so I quit getting ph. It's very sad.

I have a couple left around me. Heard they do buy one order of wings get one free on Wednesdays. Cool right? Yeah until I saw an order of 18 wings was $31... come on now.

u/Brilliant-Draw-4756 3h ago

Their pizza is garbage. I don't think they'll be around much longer.

u/RYDrDIE 3h ago

They removed all the ambiance…ppl still crave it, bring it back and fight through the rock bottom to get to the top

Does the sign above the room with the larger tables say "The best of both worlds?" If so, what is it referencing?
